on Friday evening last of Congestion of the
brain caused by an attack ofTyphoid fever.
The deceased was IS years of age, and suf-

this stroke which made his system suscepti-
BILE to the conquest of disease. Mr.. Kimbe

A Snake Story.

A despatch from Salisbury, Md. to the
Baltimore Herald, says: George Early, a
young farmer of Tyaskin district, while out
in his field on Monday afternoon attending
to some business, was attacked by large
rattlesnake. The first notice he had of the
close proximity of the deadly viper was
heating his rattle. In a moment the snake
had fastened its fangs in Mr.. Early's long
rolling on the ground fighting for the vic
tory. The snake which was over seven
feet long, wound its body around Mr. Ear
ly's legs. By super-hunan strength Mr..
Early broke the hold of the viper. and get
ting his knife from his coat pocket, tried to
kill it. The snake was however, too much
for him, and he began crying for help. His
cries being heard, friend rushed to his
assistance, and together they soon killed
it. When Mr.. Early had somewhat recov-
cred from the effects of the fright he remov-
ed the gum boots and found that the snakes
fangs had not reached his flesh, but the
boots were ripped in many places. The
make was laid out and measured seven feet
seven inches in length and two and half
inches in circumference.
This snake yarn is simply lie. Rat
tie Snakes are not feet long and do not
lap around. mems legs. This reptile is not
of:.the constructor species. The snake strikes
a straight blow, buries its hooked fangs in
to the object of attack if within reach and
will repeat the stroke il not arrested but
the reptile never enfods its object of at
tack like the black snake and other con-
strictors
